Choosing paper size

When installing wepa print apps, select the Large format option in order to print on paper sizes other than letter. When printing, most print dialog boxes will default to the correct paper size for the document you are printing. If you need to change this (e.g. to legal or tabloid) you should be able to select within the print dialog box. If printing from Adobe software (Acrobat, Photoshop, InDesign, etc.), after choosing Print, select Page Setup to adjust the paper size.
